adhocParty to enable online play

[Frances_Penfold]

Glad to hear the PAL lands aren't getting the shaft on this

Frances Penfold, welcome in my clu, I have 33 feet of ethernet cable

Heh, I was just online looking at 50' lengths of ethernet offered by Amazon. Probably I will upgrade my router hardware to a version that supports wireless + wired connections at the same time.

Who needs the inferior later versions of Pure anyway?

Amen to that, brother

[Mad-Ice]

So tomorrow it will be packed during the PURE adhoc Party Sunday evening sessions.

Waiting for Lunar, MrSmadSmartAlex, Saturn and Frances to join the fun.

Trying to get back to the old days and the old ways of the zone.

Well now, back to Pure it is when this comes, I'm afraid I'm too lazy to go through the Japanese account creation and download rigmarole.

[Asayyeah]

I can give you a hand Stephen if that motivates you to come ( i know Kaori recently put some effort to let me have the pleasure to race online Pure and i am not regretting it).
But it was a true pain in the ass to be able to be there last night vs Kaori, MadIce & NightArh.

I don't have (yet) a routeur only a cable modem no wifi with just 1 rj45 slot, so i had to unplug my pc to plug my ps3 : not the perfect way but hopefully i don't have this modem at 50 meters located from my bedroom : it's in it. Early december i change all the internet/tv/telephone set up from the house for a nice one (i hope lol)

Jap psn rejected my 3 email adresses + 1 given by Kaori so i end up entering an imaginary adress finishing by .jp.

Connecting psp to ps3 : that is nothing usually but here lol i did struggle a LOT but succeeded at the end.

The rest was pretty easy eventhough i haven't understood all the features from Adhoc Party lol anyway i did entered the arena from Kaori and joined Matthijs and Nightarh ( 1st time for him playing Pure !! it was the demo Kaori sent to him).
Matt' wasn't in his good days except on Delta, Kaori was on fire through Alpha tournament that let me having Beta, gamma and classic1 ( at my very own surprise :O but MadIce played the kamikaze role on his precious Karbonis : Karbooomnis )
Looking forward to next sunday !

[Mad-Ice]

Boom boom boom, I want you in my room! Gonna get medieval on your ASsA! Well indeed, I had some warming up problems, lol! It was my job to clean the track and those two frenchmen made a croque-monsieur out of me. Squeezed me at the start several times so a comeback was hard.

But I fought with all I got and kept my head high and finally it paid of! Of course, you can understand how much I am in love with tour Delta now.

Anyway, Kaori was on fire during Alpha and won his first tour against Asa. He is still flying high on it, I suppose. Congrats mate.

RRA: get your together and kick some with us on Pure.

An english version of Ad Hoc Party is coming on US playstation store.

Oh, man, now that really makes me want to get a PS3!
And then I could also play some serious HD. That would be pretty good too!

Who needs the inferior later versions of Pure anyway?

8 ) Right on! Pure is just... pure goodness! 8 D

Trying to get back to the old days and the old ways of the zone.

Double hell-yeah.

Thanks for racing yesterday, I enjoyed Alpha Tour, it's possible it will take me lot of time before I won an other tournament against Mad-Ice and Asa !
It was the first time I beat master Asa, each time I played with him in real life, he was over trained !

And Gamma Tour are the closest, with a crucial last race won by Asa.

Ad Hoc Party is awesome, I was able to send the demo to NightArh.
We could race some races with 4 players on Vineta K.
But during sending, Asa and mad-Ice couldn't played.

And I was able to connected my 2 PSP in a race !

Results :

Alpha :
KAO 30 1112
ASA 26 2221
MAD 20 3333

Beta :
ASA 32 1111
MAD 24 2222
KAO 20 3333

Classic :
ASA 28 1212
KAO 22 2323
MAD 16 x1x1

Gamma :
ASA 27 2311
MAD 25 1223
KAO 24 3132

Delta :
MAD 30 2111
ASA 25 1322
KAO 21 3233

Asa quitted us after 1st TT of a Classic 2 tour, Mad-Ice won the 4 races.

I'm ready for playing next sunday (or other day if you prefer)

Just choose Classic 1, you drive safely on Karbonis and encourage them to do crazy stunts and - whoops - death is death in Pure. Then play it safe for the remaining 3 races. Not that I ever thought about this or anything.....

We are getting quite a list of interested pilots here Especially if Task and MrSSAlex take the plunge. I am going to try to make this work out. Where is Stin - we need him back and need both the Scottish Stephens racing Pure - just one drunken Scotsman calling me a w*nker isn`t enough

[kaori]

Haha, thanks for the tip, I will remember it. It's true this tournament was more close than the points want to tell us.

But I suspect Asa and Mad-Ice to be already training for the next event !

[Frances_Penfold]

Any guesses on whether the JPN, NTSC and PAL versions of adhoc party will "talk" to one another? If not, I am guessing the the PAL version will be the one to have, since Europe has the greatest density of WO pilots...

I am definitely on board with this. It will take a week or so to obtain the new router and run some ethernet cable to my PS3. The option of playing Pure online with WOZ'ers makes me giddy with excitement

[NightArh]

Just ordered Pure. Dont know is it PAL or NTSC version...

[kaori]

I've the 2 versions , Asa & Mad-Ice too
US : Euro :

[NightArh]

I have US version... disc has the code UCUS-98612 I want to join Frances' question about compatibility of PAL and NTSC versions...

[Jambo]

Have started playing Pure again as I got the download version off the store for my PSP Go. Might be able to get online and get destroyed by you guys once ad-hoc party comes along.

[Frances_Penfold]

I have US version... disc has the code UCUS-98612 I want to join Frances' question about compatibility of PAL and NTSC versions...

I guess there are two issues here--

First, can the NTSC, JPN and PAL versions of WipEout PurE talk to each other via adhoc mode? I am pretty sure that the answer to this is "no," based on what I have read here at the WOZ.

Second, can the NTSC, JPN and PAL versions of the PS3 application "adhoc party" talk to each other-- so that if I have the North American version of adhoc party on my PS3, and Asayyeah has the Europe version of adhoc party on his PS3, can we enter a common "room" and play each other if we both have (let's say) a PAL version of WipEout PurE?

It is not a big deal to have multiple, multi-regional accounts on a PS3, so one PS3 can (I assume) have multiple versions of adhoc party installed. So this is mostly a matter of convenience (i.e., having to configure several versions of adhoc party to be able to play PSP games online with people in different regions).

[kaori]

First, each version of WipEout Pure can't talk each other

Second, I don't know if a player on Ad Hoc Party Europe can connect with a player who have Ad Hoc Party America. But it's not a problem, because we have able to download the 2 (and 3 with Japan).

Third, we can try that thursday, (french news) !

[NightArh]

I have 4 accounts currently: ru, jp, eu and us PSN networks. as far as I know there is only japanese version of Ad Hoc party and I am using it... its a shame different versions of this game are not compatible but most of us have US version of it and its good all dlc are aviable for it for free! I began single player campaign to learn game mechanics and tracks... it is strange for me but I begin to love this game!

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Oh, do most people not play on the PAL version? I'm afraid I have to so I can use the Klor and Turboweevil ships - don't really like many other ships any more (I have to be awkward). Also, I don't really want to buy Pure again, considering the US version doesn't have any extras that I want.

Been looking around for a good deal on PS3 Slims, but they're all still at full price (except for Sainsbury's which is sold out).
I really want to play Pure online though!

[lunar]

I think Euro/PAL is the best version as it has the most content - Omega Pack is only on Euro and is one of the best tours you can do. I do have the US version of Pure aswell though.

Good luck with your PS3 hunt Alex. It`s a lot of money to spend for Pure online - but at least we can help test out whether it`s worth it when adhoc party comes out this week. Thanks Kaori for that info.

I had a sneaky look at PSP 3000`s for this - but they are very pricey still and I will stick with my old warhorse PSP 1000 for now.

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

Well, it's not the only reason I'd get a PS3, but it's pushed me from being only slightly interested to really wanting one!
I'd play some PS3 games too (FFXIII for sure), but probably not so much WOHD, just because I prefer Pulse and Pure, and also the older Wipeouts (even though I'm not good at any except Pulse).
I'd be using my white PSP 2000 for Pure online. Eventually my silver 2000 (which rules!) will wear out, so I bought the white one as a spare (and also as an ofw PSP), because I didn't want to risk getting annoyed by that screen issue on the 3000, and I never tried a 1000 (does having less RAM actually make any difference to gameplay?).

Oh, btw, are all the ships in Pure "legal" to use online? I'd imagine Triakis isn't, but what about the others?
